Resumo: | During the last years, many papers have been written about a matter considered of fundamental importance for all the parts involved in the educational area. Because of that meaningful importance we were directed to evaluate, in a more consistent manner, all the information on the matter that is available. With this paper, we take into consideration an important segment related to this matter, which is the Brazilian Higher Education, the segment that has been graduating the greater number of the leading professionals for the market, nowadays. Many actions took place, in Brazil, in order to enlarge and improve the number of youth’s admissions for the higher education, this because a very small percentage of students have had that opportunity, lately. That fact has been worsens due to the great increase of the private institutions participation in that segment, what has moved away mainly those people who do not have good financial conditions in participating of that education. Although the Brazilian government has been accompanying such tendency, actions were directed to propitiate the inclusion of those lacking students in the private institutions through scholarships, a helpful action for the private institutions to fulfill their vacancies and, also, helped all those who are waiting for opportunities that can let them going on studying.That is the Government’s action at the moment, since the other option would be to have conditions of bringing down the education costs to make the monthly payments lower and in conditions for all the students, although that is a more complicated situation to be resolved. Nevertheless, the government and the society are really concerned with the quality of the education offered by all those institutions, and control programs are being introduced. This paper is mainly focused on the Federal University and the Papal Catholic University because of the following reasons: they belong to a segment susceptible to comparisons; they are institutions of important participation and representativeness in the national scenery and also, for being representing an expressive percentage of the students. We just choose for studying those Universities in order to observe institutions with their all characteristics, mostly those which are offering graduation and post-graduation courses That is the Government’s action at the moment, since the other option would be to have conditions of bringing down the education costs to make the monthly payments lower and in conditions for all the students, although that is a more complicated situation to be resolved.

This paper is mainly focused on the Federal University and the Papal Catholic University because of the following reasons: they belong to a segment susceptible to comparisons; they are institutions of important participation and representativeness in the national scenery and also, for being representing an expressive percentage of the students.We just choose for studying those Universities in order to observe institutions with their all characteristics, mostly those which are offering graduation and post-graduation courses At the same time, we point out to the shortage of resources that affect the universities nowadays, as well as the need of verifying the efficient resource allocation, an important way to maintain strong and qualified institutions of higher education. Consequently, we identify, through the study of the institutions before mentioned, relevant facts that can lead us to create performance and efficiency indicators for each institution, and by that way, we can classify those institutions accordingly to that index. According to that idea, we created an indicator that can drive us to evaluate, in a practical manner, the institutions before mentioned. For that purpose, the Data Envelopment Analysis tool is providing us the technical support for this study. The results showed us which of those institutions presented a more efficient way among the others institutions and, in the case of no efficiency, which aspects should suffer some alteration for determined institution to reach the same efficiency level. Finally, and with reference to the results, it is important to point out that there was not a defined group of efficient institutions, public or private, because, we will see that as much public as private institutions presented in a well distributed manner in the final results. |
